Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) from the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) recommends that children (6-18 years) and adults (≥19 years old) with chronic lung
condition such as asthma or cigarette smoking be vaccinated with Pneumococcal vaccine
(PPSV23). The purpose of this study is to increase awareness of vaccination to late
adolescents with asthma and smokers (social aspect of study), and to recommend vaccination
(which is the clinical aspect). Individuals who agree to receiving vaccine will be enrolled
in research to determine whether late adolescents with and without asthma (smokers) have
distinctive pneumococcal vaccine response patterns and whether such patterns are associated
with subsequent variance in asthma outcomes.

record within one year prior to last follow-up date as of data abstraction)
